I don't see this company meeting SIGCOV or even NCORP. The article also seems pretty promotional and mostly relies on sources tied to the organization or its subsidiaries, like stormfiber.com, which is a brand of this company. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 15:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I think it comes down to whether ProPakistani.pk and Dawn are reliable sources, since there is WP:SIGCOV in the articles already linked. They're not all promotional; some feature critical news. But I don't know enough to evaluate the reliability of those sources. Would be nice to have some commentary on the reliability of these sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Dawn is the top English language newspaper in Pakistan. Very reliable, highest quality journalism.
- ProPakistani is a technology focused media, reliable with no issues with factual content, but prone to publishing promotional material, and press releases. Isoceles-sai (talk) 17:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Dawn is reliable per WP:NPPSG and there are quite a few Dawn articles that offer significant coverage of this company. ProPakistani.pk is listed as "no consensus" because there are concerns about undisclosed sponsored posts, so I wouldn't trust them for notability. Regardless, there is some coverage in other sources (ex: [1][2][3][4]) so I'm leaning towards a keep. C F A 💬 23:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment. In light of the reliability of Dawn and the sigcov in it, plus the sources identified by CFA, I'll !vote keep. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:26, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CFA and Dclemens1971: Are the keep votes based on Dawn's non-byline coverage currently cited in the article, which is itself derived from press releases? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 21:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Do you have this press release for us to compare? Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Dclemens1971, Based on your comment, it seems like you're relying heavily on Dawn's coverage to justify keeping this article. There are three Dawn articles cited, but the coverage is questionable. For example, this article is clearly marked as "PR" under the image caption, indicating it's likely based on a press release. This second news story only briefly mentions the subject [Cyber Internet Services] in the context of an incident at StormFiber, a subsidiary of the subject making it routine coverage. And the third article offers just a trivial mention of the subject. None of these provide in-depth coverage of Cyber Internet Services itself. Similarly, the coverage provided by @CFA: is also questionable. Why? Because the term “PR” is clearly mentioned under the image captions, suggesting it's likely based on press releases. The coverage in Business Recorder is confirmed to be press release-based as well, as indicated by the byline. Now the question is, since when did we start keeping articles based on press release coverage? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 12:21, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not exclusively basing my !vote on Dawn coverage but RS/N seems to support @CFA's view and CFA brought other sources that support notability under WP:NCORP. I note you have not supplied any press release that you assert (without evidence thus far) the Dawn articles are based on. Sourcing an image to a press release is extremely common even with reliable sources, which need to attribute their images and have no reason not to use images provided by companies. That is no indication that the article itself is based on a press release. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dclemens1971, Please check the tone of these articles - they’re clearly PROMO. We don’t always need evidence to show that a piece is based on a press release. I don’t have to add anything more on this. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 11:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per CFA and Dclemens1971 analysis. StormFiber is not a company or subsidiary - it is doing business as StormFiber for public internet connections. StormFiber coverage ([5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) does count towards Cyber Internet (additional coverage: [10], [11]).

- Safavid Capture of Mesopotamia (1623-1624) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article has no useful encyclopedic content about its subject, the Safavid capture of Mesopotamia. There is no lede section, and two of the three paragraphs are not about the campaign. The first paragraph is background, and the second paragraph is about the victorious commander. The infobox says nothing, because the strength and the losses are unknown. The third paragraph is partly about a military victory without describing the victory.
The sentence
This text aims to cover key aspects of his reign: his rise to power, consolidation, military successes, and the establishment of Isfahan
is not only not encyclopedic, but reads as if it was copied from a book. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- I agree, the article does not currently carry any meaningful or important content to be covered on Wikipedia as of yet. Once the are notable or important media coverage from independent and reliable sources, not paid promotional articles, the article can be requested for retrieve from the deleted articles by anyone with sufficient reason, notability and reliable sources coverage, if no one request for the article to be retrieved, it means the is no value for the article to be covered on Wikipedia.
- Vote: Delete Dwaynemoony (talk) 06:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I'm not the one who created this article, but I was one of the editors who completely rewrote the article and included a string of international media sources (which are used in extremely large numbers in other articles). After much discussion and recommendations I kept only the notable sources which are certainly sufficient to keep the article. Also, being a globally known platform, I would be of the opinion that it can be present on wikipedia. Being a related platform to Temu which is even newer in the market it is already present in wikipedia.
I want to mention that I have nothing to do with this topic!
P.S In the meantime I will analyze to identify new sources in addition to the existing ones in the article.--DanikS88 (talk) 13:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- It appears as if you have close connection to the subject, which is not allowed or have you been paid to cover the subject? is not only about the source is also about you close to the subject, and also about the importance to be covered on Wikipedia, should there be any important new information with credibility, the deletion will be extended for further discussion until then, it should be removed, it does not have any importance to be covered on Wikipedia as of yet. It should be part of the company's story on their own website. Dwaynemoony (talk) 20:59, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I added a top source from Kuwait to the article, so I reviewed the sources available in the article which are enough to establish the notability of the article, as I said these sources are used in hundreds of wikipedia articles. I don't want to comment on the editors who vote deletion because it's not my right (but some of them seem to be from a WP:SOCK), this will be reviewed by an administrator. I just ask that the editor who will be in charge of deleting the article to review the past version of the article and the current version to make a comparison, because the subject is notable being internationally known, having some revenue which is enough to prove notability.--DanikS88 (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Appears to be short of WP:GNG and it doesn't qualify for WP:NBUILD, so the previous deletion opposition which was based upon "This is a contributing building to the Tribeca West Historic District and is substantially covered in the LPC report, which by itself is enough for notability. " is not national level recognition to presume notability under WP:NGEO Graywalls (talk) 22:46, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. The Tribeca West Historic District should have its own article and if one is created then this can be merged with that. But until such an article exists, deleting information on an historic building which has its own entry in the designation report serves no useful purpose to anyone with any interest in historic architecture. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Necrothesp:, that's a NYC.gov, a local government. What part of this is national designation level as said in WP:NBUILD? Graywalls (talk) 01:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm aware. But that's not what I said. Just because it's not nationally designated doesn't mean it can't be notable. Plenty of New York City Landmarks do have their own articles. I see no value in deleting information on an historic building "just because"! It might certainly be better served in a wider article, but unfortunately there isn't yet one. But in any case, it does appear to satisfy WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Tribeca West Historic District
Delete- this is a run-of-the-mill older building in NYC, like thousands of others in the city that have features like:Some surviving historic features include a pressed metal cornice, prominent brick-and-stone lintels, a brick corbel table, wood sash windows, and cast-iron piers
, so I'm failing to understand what makes this one notable. The sourcing is quite weak, consisting of blogs like Curbed and trade journal-like websites like Commercial Observer or GlobeSt. Here's what GlobeSt's website says about their mission to publish native advertising:Native Advertising: Connect your content with our website audience in the context of the editorial user experiences; the result is higher visibility and engagement for your thought leadership content.
[13]. In other words, "Pay to Play." I understand the building lies within the boundaries of the "Historical District" however, if the building were notably historic we would see coverage in books on architectural history, or critical/analytical analysis in architectural magazines or academic journals. An online BEFORE search finds real estate listings, more blogs but not in-depth coverage outside of the incident where the developer/owner wanted to mount a huge crucifix to the exterior. I agree that an article on the Tribeca Historic District would be the perfect place to redirect this, but one has not been created, yet. Fails GNG and NBUILD. Many houses on the very block I live on fall within our local "historical district", does that mean they are wiki-notable? No, it just means they are old and haven't been gut renovated.Netherzone (talk) 12:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC) - Weak keep: This building is a contributing property to a city historic district (not even an individual landmark), so it doesn't automatically meet NBUILD, but I'm leaning toward it meeting GNG. The LPC source does have a few details about the building's early history and facade, but since 177 Franklin was only designated along with 1,000 other buildings in Tribeca West, the info in the report is more limited. I did find a handful of sources about the Shinola store, like this New York Times Magazine source and this source from Hodinkee. I also found a source from the Wall Street Journal which describes how the building was supposed to become luxury apartments before becoming a store. This source from the Real Deal describes a few of the previous plans for the building. I haven't looked into pre-2000s sources, but like Netherzone, I was unable to find coverage of the building in architectural magazines.As for the other sources currently in the article, Walter Grutchfield is self-published, and Wikimapia isn't reliable. GlobeSt.com and Commercial Observer are both reputable trade journals with editorial oversight, but the sources from these websites don't comprise significant coverage. (As an example, this GlobeSt article about the building's sale, which ostensibly is three paragraphs long, only describes the number of stories and the building's cost—a total of two sentences). Though Curbed is now owned by New York Media, LLC, the two Curbed sources in the article were published when Curbed was still an independent blog, so I hesitate to call this reliable. – Epicgenius (talk) 02:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't see how any reader could possibly benefit by having less factual information rather than more about a building that has been noted as contributing to the designation of a historic district. Station1 (talk) 16:23, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Hi, thanks for sharing your opinion, but it would be useful if you would substantiate policy based argument that supports your position Graywalls (talk) 08:30, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, but I think far more important is the spirit of Wikipedia, "to benefit readers by presenting information on all branches of knowledge." Contrary to your bald assertions, without further explanation, that the article does not meet the guidelines (not policy) at WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD, the topic does have reliable secondary sources that address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content, primarily and especially the LPC report. Furthermore, WP:NBUILD says buildings "may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." This building has historic and architectural importance documented by the LPC, a reliable third-party source. And no one has yet researched local papers for information about its social importance regarding the church controversy, where freedom of religion and zoning rules clashed, nor about its use as a public avant-garde concert venue in the '80s. And under WP:NGEO "national level recognition" only presumes notability, it does not mean other historic structures cannot be notable; besides which NYC is larger than about half the nations of the world. Granted, this is far from the world's most important building, but we have literally thousands of articles about similarly or less notable buildings on Wikipedia, and consensus is that they stay. Now that I've attempted to answer your question, perhaps you can explain how Wikipedia readers will benefit by depriving them of the facts contained in this article. Station1 (talk) 17:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- With all due respect, @Station1, as mentioned in my comment above I did indeed do a BEFORE search, which I consider to be best practices in AfDs. Newspapers.com had several hits, but these were simple mentions for things like, "so and so lived at 177 Franklin Street, who died on Friday" lot's of these types of mentions. I also found mentions of the address in listings for apartments that were for rent. But found nothing about the building itself or its architectural, historical importance. Additionally I did a Google search and only came up with blogs, real estate listings, primary sources, and a few pieces about the big crucifix event. I also did a search of the LPC report, and found nothing in it about this specific building at 177 Franklin. Do you have a page number in the report that you could direct us to? Netherzone (talk) 19:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's on pages 295-6. Station1 (talk) 01:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, I found it with your help. What I found there is a short paragraph mainly describing the physical characteristics, but not any distinguishing characteristics that would indicate how this specific building is exceptional and set apart from the other many thousands of buildings that fall within drawn historical boundaries in NYC. This indicates run of the mill, WP:MILL at least to my way of thought. What would you consider to be the two other best sources? Netherzone (talk) 02:38, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- A topic is either notable or it's not. Barely notable is still notable. A real-world reliable independent source with competence in the subject has taken note of this building and provided facts about it, facts that we can pass on to readers, however few, who might be interested in those facts, and that's enough for me. I still haven't heard any argument explaining why those readers are better off not knowing facts about this building. Station1 (talk) 03:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, it isn't. There's a range of notability and if it doesn't meet GNG or the relevant SNG have no place on Wikipedia. A tract home chosen for a home makeover show is more notable than the rest of the homes in the subdivision but it's going to take a very significant, in-depth coverage in multiple sources with significant level of details by independent reliable sources devoted to that house to be considered for an article. Graywalls (talk) 11:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- GNG does not say very, or in-depth, or significant level [of details]. It does say "There is no fixed number of sources required..." and that the topic "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". Your criteria seem to be higher than what GNG suggests.

- It's on pages 295-6. Station1 (talk) 01:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- With all due respect, @Station1, as mentioned in my comment above I did indeed do a BEFORE search, which I consider to be best practices in AfDs. Newspapers.com had several hits, but these were simple mentions for things like, "so and so lived at 177 Franklin Street, who died on Friday" lot's of these types of mentions. I also found mentions of the address in listings for apartments that were for rent. But found nothing about the building itself or its architectural, historical importance. Additionally I did a Google search and only came up with blogs, real estate listings, primary sources, and a few pieces about the big crucifix event. I also did a search of the LPC report, and found nothing in it about this specific building at 177 Franklin. Do you have a page number in the report that you could direct us to? Netherzone (talk) 19:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, but I think far more important is the spirit of Wikipedia, "to benefit readers by presenting information on all branches of knowledge." Contrary to your bald assertions, without further explanation, that the article does not meet the guidelines (not policy) at WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD, the topic does have reliable secondary sources that address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content, primarily and especially the LPC report. Furthermore, WP:NBUILD says buildings "may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." This building has historic and architectural importance documented by the LPC, a reliable third-party source. And no one has yet researched local papers for information about its social importance regarding the church controversy, where freedom of religion and zoning rules clashed, nor about its use as a public avant-garde concert venue in the '80s. And under WP:NGEO "national level recognition" only presumes notability, it does not mean other historic structures cannot be notable; besides which NYC is larger than about half the nations of the world. Granted, this is far from the world's most important building, but we have literally thousands of articles about similarly or less notable buildings on Wikipedia, and consensus is that they stay. Now that I've attempted to answer your question, perhaps you can explain how Wikipedia readers will benefit by depriving them of the facts contained in this article.

Weak Deleteor draftify. Given the sources presented, the article does not appear to meat the GNG or other notability guidelines. Given that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a directory of historic buildings, I can't in good faith argue to keep in this case, but Station1 and Necrothesp make a good point that deleting verifiable, factual information is in tension with the overall goal of Wikipedia. Draftification, especially if someone is interested in putting together a brief Tribeca West Historic District article would be a reasonable ATD, but if no one is ready to do the work, deletion may be necessary.

- Comment. The relevant standard for nonprofit organizations would be WP:ORG rather than WP:NCORP, and there is no mention of any WP:BEFORE search. A quick search of Newspapers.com finds a widely syndicated article about the sex abuse scandal involving the Northeast Iowa Council, such as this 2024 article in The Muscatine Journal (the version which appeared in The Gazette is accessible here). There are also feature articles about Northeast Iowa Council's old Adventure Island camp (dating back to 1952), and the Claus family's agreement to lease the Northeast Iowa Council land for its new camp (1956). I would argue that there is enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG...but that it's the sex abuse scandal that makes the issue of whether or not to keep this article more complicated than any notability criteria. If the article is kept, the issue needs to be addressed within the article itself. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:17, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - Fails WP:CORP. The Eurogamer article is the only one that is significant coverage, not enough to meet notability. The rest are news stories that focus on the games they were developing, not the company. They don't "address the subject of the article directly and in depth". See also WP:CORPDEPTH: There should be "coverage that provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements".

Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.

One of about 35 secondary schools in the city. Translated from the Bengali Wikipedia. All the content comes from the school's website. The other source cited, barisallive24.com (now dead), is obscure and of unknown reliability but probably partly supported the last sentence of the article. That sentence has lost something in translation. In its history the school has received two awards for excellence. Not, judging by the barisallive24.com title, for being the top school in the country, but for their results within Barisal District.
Searches in English and Bengali found a few primary source breaking news stories, but no significant coverage of the school itself.[27][28][29] Nothing more has been written about the 2013 allegation or the 2017 and 2020 complaints about fees.

The only sources I can find are the same directory-style entries (confirming existence and location) we have in the article. I can't even find any population information (to confirm whether the townland is sufficiently populated or otherwise contains notable structures) to warrant a stand-alone article.

WP:BLP of a musician and artist, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NARTIST.
The attempted notability claim as a musician is that he was formerly lead singer of a band, but band members are not "inherently" notable enough for their own standalone articles as separate topics from their bands just because they exist, and have to show WP:GNG-worthy coverage that focuses specifically on them (as opposed to just glancingly namechecking them in coverage of the band) -- however, the only music-related footnote here is a "10 best death metal singers" listicle in an unreliable source, which is not sufficient to claim passage of NMUSIC by itself.
And the attempted notability claim as a visual artist is that he's had local art shows in the region where he lives, referenced to one short blurb and a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about somebody else, which is not sufficient to get him over the notability bar for visual artists either.

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC as an individual. As always, members of bands are not "inherently" notable enough for their own standalone articles just because they exist, and have to show WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources that focuses specifically on them (as opposed to just being glancingly namechecked in coverage of the band) -- but the sole footnote here is the band's own self-published website about itself, which is not support for notability.

Fail to see how this is notable, can't find any WP:RS on this "Han–Xiongnu War (215 BC–200 BC)". The creator of this article basically copied the stuff they were reverted (and blocked) for at Battle of Baideng here. They've misused tons of citations here [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40], and recently engaged in copyvio in another article [41], which may also be the case here.

- Keep - Sure certain things need cleanup, but this page would be good for this website. @Serendipodous: is right about his claims. Outside of the List of reptilian humanoids, List of avian humanoids, and Insectoids in science fiction and fantasy, there isn't a list page for any Human–animal hybrid that would be in the beast people category like the beast folk seen in The Island of Doctor Moreau and the beast folk seen in Duel Masters (renamed "beast kin" in Kaijudo). --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone can dig up discussion for this subject as a whole. I don't see any indication that this grouping, or any of the other fictional biology lists of a kind similar to it, are notable as a group. If discussion on this group as a whole can be found and show that there's enough for an article, I'd feel more confident with keeping this around, but as it stands right now this list is just a mostly unsourced collection of indiscriminate information. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 18:57, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This is a valid navigational list. Far more useful than the category Category:Piscine and amphibian humanoids, since it allows additional information to be listed, helping people find what they wish easier. Dream Focus 02:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and probably rename to List of aquatic humanoids. For the piscine side, there's at least a chapter in The Body Fantastic and a paragraph in this Vice article, as well as many secondary sources on individual examples. These may not be stellar sources with regard to WP:LISTN, but given the recognized navigational value within the Lists of humanoids I believe it is in the best interest of the project to keep this list. Trimming of some non-blue-linked and unsourced examples can help with the impression of trivia. If one looks for "aquatic humanoid" instead, more secondary sources appear, like this web article, where I am not sure about the reliability; academic publications like this and this, as well as this book, which all have "mermaid" in the title but talk about "aquatic humanoids" more generally. Another source is The Stuff of Science Fiction, which talks about aquatic creatures in fiction in general, but deals with aquatic humanoids specifically for several pages, starting from p. 77. Daranios (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Aquatic humanoids" is too general. We'd have to include undines, water nymphs, water elementals, and pretty much every sea god. Serendipodous 14:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - When I first edited this page, I had tried to sort the piscine humanoids from the amphibian humanoids only for it to be reverted by @Serendipodous: who stated in his reversion edit summary "technically, if you merge a man with a fish, you are creating an amphibian, so the distinction between fish people and frog people isn't all that clear cut". --Rtkat3 (talk) 13:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per Pokelego999. This isn't a real topic, and readers can't discern what it is. It's just an WP:INDISCRIMINATE bunch of characters that editors have compiled through WP:OR. Daranios suggested a good WP:ATD, which is to rename this in a way that it aligns with a real topic supported by sources. I could be convinced to support that, but it's a bad sign that nobody can really say what this page is supposed to be about. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- You cross a human with something that has gills. Where's the confusion? Serendipodous 13:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- You'd need multiple reliable secondary sources to establish that. Without it, it's just editors arguing their personal opinion about what the article is about. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Pokelego999 and Shooterwalker - As it stands, the overall topic of this list is not a genuine topic that has sources covering it. That not only makes it a failure of WP:LISTN, but also makes the whole concept reliant on WP:SYNTH. Even the sources brought up above are on topics of a much narrower, more specific scope, and are largely covered by other articles. The proposed retitling/reworkings of the list don't really work as making it a list of "Aquatic Humanoids" is, as pointed out, far too broad and becomes redundant with other articles, and specifying it as humans crossed with gilled creatures is not a topic that actually has sources or passes WP:LISTN. Rorshacma (talk) 16:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rorshacma: With which other lists would a List of aquatic humanoids be redundant within the framework of Lists of humanoids? Daranios (talk) 18:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- I was expanding on Serendipodous' observation that a list of "Aquatic Humanoids" is too general, as that would have to include all manner of mythological figures associated with the water, such as gods, and other folklore figures. So, an example of redundancy when you start getting that broad would be something like our List of water deities. We also have things like Mermaids in popular culture and other specific lists or sections of articles that cover specific "types" of what would be considered aquatic humanoids. And even if we tried to narrow the inclusion criteria to not include things like that, then there is still the issue that there are no sources that I can find or have been presented that actually discuss topics as disparate as anthropomorphized frogs, Lovecraftian monsters, and Aquaman as being the same subject or covered as a group. And if there are no reliable sources that actually group the concept of "humans crossed with any animal that lives in the water", creating a list here that does just that is WP:OR.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 21:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)- In addition to the secondary sources already listed, there is also an important one in the 14-page introduction to The Penguin Book of Mermaids. It talks about our beings as a group, but does not use the term humanoid but rather "merbeings" or "mermaids/merfolk and other water spirits". With regard to the broadness of scope, I think these are problems which can be solved editorially: As one main use is navigation, starting from List of lists of lists this is a subdivision of Lists of humanoids, which is obviously even broader but still exists. And as much as possible, and without getting into original research, we should aim for a structure which leads to all humanoid (species) on Wikipedia. Daranios (talk) 07:27, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- For the sake of completeness, there are secondary sources which do put "psicine humanoids" and "amphibian humanoids" together, like The Body Fantastic, p. 164. So I do not think we are amiss if we do the same. But there is also "The Pepe the Frog meme: an examination of social, political, and cultural implications through the tradition of the Darwinian Absurd", which despite the name does not only discuss Pepe the Frog, but also what sets "amphibian humanoids" as a group apart.

- Comment: I think there are two questions here:Notability and Coverage.
- I don't WP:NPOL is the standard here. He is a civil servant, neither a person who was voted into the position not a Judge. However, his position in the Order of precedence in India is above certain individuals that would qualify. I think in terms of notability, the closest equivalent would be people who are Secretary of State for a given US State, such as those in where Wikipedia has quite a few. (Yes, I know the Americans are (US State) Cabinet positions, but this seems to be close to the same and equally doesn't seem covered by WP:NPOL.
- Coverage There isn't any doubt that he holds the position, the question is whether the first two references which show that he *had* the position are enough to show general notability. So at this point, and I'll hopefully come back after others have commented, I'm a Week Keep.

Apart from the obvious undisclosed paid editing by Pinknetwork123, a fairly new account with 20 edits, comes up with a 20000 bytes draft.

- I want to draw everyone’s attention to Wikietiquette Article for Deletion, WP:AFDEQ, especially on the fourth point “Do not make unsourced negative comments about living people. These may be removed by any editor.” I would recommend editors to be unbalanced and take a constructive approach here, given that it concerns a living person.
- First, the claim that the article has "obvious undisclosed paid editing" is not correct, as I have already explained before. Additionally, the assertion that he gives “interviews on paid promotional sources” is baseless. Which interviews specifically are paid? Those with The Times of India on hate speech, NDTV, Bloomberg, or discussions on caste and income in The Indian Express, The Hindu, The Telegraph, New Indian Express, or the op-eds on LGBT rights? Just a simple Google search shows that subject has several engagements. And his bio is openly available across academic space to help people create his profile.
- It may be reasonable to debate the subject’s notability, it is inappropriate to dismiss their legitimate work as “paid” without evidence. I encourage editors to adhere to Wikietiquette WP:AFDEQ to remain impartial and decide constructively in this discussion. Thank you. Pinknetwork123 (talk) 16:54, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Pinknetwork123: What
unsourced negative comments
do you think have been made here? jlwoodwa (talk) 18:05, 21 August 2024 (UTC)- Thanks a lot @Jlwoodwa for your comment. The comments made here on 1. “obvious” undisclosed paid editing 2. “paid PR articles” and 3. interviews on “paid promotional” sources, make unsourced negative claims about the subject and his work, which affects their reputation in this public space. This is not in line with Wikietiquette policy.
- The article cites several reputed and credible secondary sources from the Indian media specifically covering the subject and his work. After this discussion, I agree there are some primary sources which can be removed, and the article can be modified to Wiki standards. The article has been put twice by two different editors in the mainspace.
- I understand that editors can put any article to AfD, but I agree with Wikietiquette that AfD should not become a place for making unsubstantiated claims about the work of a living person. I’d welcome a more measured tone when dealing with living persons. Thank you! Pinknetwork123 (talk) 09:39, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- This is very much a promotional article [48], so the statement stands. Others are items this person published under their own name, and are a primary source. No articles strictly about this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Pinknetwork123: What
- Keep, while a lot of the sources aren't at par with what I'd expect when looking for WP:BLPRS, I do believe there are atleast three reliable sources that satisfy the bar for notability:
- [49] is a article in The Hindu talks in detail about a paper the individual coauthored.
- [50] is another article in The Hindu that talks about a study he lead.
- [51] is another article in The Telegraph (India) that talks about research that he lead.
- [52] is another article in Indian Express that also talks about his research.
I think the fact that the findings in his research are being covered by newspapers of record and the fact that he holds the position of a assistant professor at IIM Bangalore would sufficiently qualify him to meet WP:NACADEMIC#7. Sohom (talk) 13:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I disagree. Many are passing mentions coming from a report released by the Indian Institute of Management. The Hindu article has no byline and the impact of the report is nowhere to be seen. The second Hindu article is authored by a freelance journalist and a study/ report done with 2 others. 3 has some interview bytes and 4 only mentions his name once.
- The position of Assistant Professor at IIM Bangalore doesn't carry much weight when evaluating for WP:NACADEMIC. I believe the extensive coverage about the latest report is only because it is related to Karnataka's govt, which i beleive only makes it as routine coverage.
- I fail to see Prateek Raj's reports creating substantial impact in terms of citations or otherwise. AFAICS, they fail to meet all eight criterias listed in WP:NACADEMIC. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 14:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeraxmoira To clear one thing up, I did not imply that the position "Assistant Professor at IIM Bangalore" carries much weight. What I implied was that given the fact that he is a professor, we should use the WP:NACADEMIC criteria to evaluate him instead of the more stringent WP:GNG criteria. Sohom (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot to both of you for your comments. The academic is known for 3 separate issues, reported in reputed and prominent media houses of India. I will highlight only media mentions that cover exclusively or prominently him.
- 1. for his recent paper on Dalit economy, where he has been interviewed in the Hindu, the Telegraph, the Indian Express, the New Indian Express, the Times of India. All these interviews are referenced in the article, like, https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/dalit-business-owners-experience-income-gap-of-16-when-compared-to-other-disadvantaged-groups-finds-study/article68505789.ece
- 2. for his work on hate speech. He has a full interview with The Times India https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/podcasts/the-times-of-india-podcast/how-hate-can-hurt-indias-economic-dreams/videoshow/102992737.cms. He also has a detailed interview with Indian Express and NDTV, and well as a full interview on history of media markets in Bloomberg.
- 3. for his advocacy of LGBT rights. His October 2023 OpEd in the Indian Express merits him a notable place in LGBT Academics category, which is underpopulated, and needs more biographies https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/sc-marriage-equality-judgment-8992557/.
- Thanks to this review process, which is helpful as it helps identify what is noteworthy about the subject. The constructive way forward may be to trim the article with only the most noteworthy information. Pinknetwork123 (talk) 16:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The sources on the page are quite poor with some written by the subject himself and some others with passing mention and interviews on paid promotional sources. Some sources are also unreliable. The subject has not had a significant noteworthy impact through his profession and outside the profession nationally or internationally to warrant a page on. Page also reads as resume. RangersRus (talk) 12:20, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting, hoping for some more opinions here. But, Pinknetwork123 know that interviews don't help establish notability. Their content can be used to verify article content but having the subject talk about themself and their work doesn't help demonstrate that the subject themself is notable (as Wikipedia judges notability).
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:36, 27 August 2024 (UTC)- Thanks, Liz! Your input helped me assess the sources better. With AfC and AfD processes, the article has significantly improved with mostly credible secondary sources that meet WP:NACADEMIC#7 in my view (thanks for highlighting Sohom!). I focused on Wikipedia:BLPRS-compliant sources that aren't based on press releases, particularly relevant in the Indian context (Wikipedia:NEWSORGINDIA). Here are a few: The Telegraph, The Hindu, and Indian Express highlight the author’s work on caste; Economic Times and Mint cover his work on regional inequality. The one-to-one Times of India interview is as a notable hate speech activist, and his October 2023 Indian Express Op-Ed, though a primary source, is relevant for his role as an LGBT academic from Global South (an underrepresented group on Wikipedia, here).

WP:BLP of a musician, with no properly sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. This is a followup to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Exitsect: the attempted notability claim here is NMUSIC #6, "musician who has been in two independently notable bands", except Exitsect is one of the two bands despite there being no discernible evidence that they ever did anything more than briefly exist -- but this article otherwise says nothing else about him, literally going "he is a musician who has been in bands, the end", and the only footnote here is the same unreliable source that's the only footnote in Exitsect's article too.

Article about a band, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. This was created in 2016 based entirely on a single unreliable source dated 2008, but has never had even one new word added to it since then about them doing anything (touring? recording?) — and one of the four stated members, whose standalone article incidentally fails to mention this band at all, died in 2015 (i.e. nine years ago, and one full year before this article even existed), yet this article still uses the present tense to describe his membership even though he was already dead, and thus clearly not still in the band even if they did still exist, in 2016.
The intended notability claim was clearly NMUSIC #6, "multiple independently notable members", but it's falling into the circular notability-loop trap that NMUSIC explicitly says to watch out for: the only member who has a strong claim to standalone notability as an individual is the dead guy, whose notability hinges on two other bands without mentioning this band at all, two of the other three members are clearly trying to wriggle through the "notable because they've been in this band that's notable because they were in it" loophole, and the third other member is staking his attempted standalone notability on one other band while again failing to mention this one at all, meaning three of the four members are also AFD candidates without clear or properly sourced claims to standalone notability.
So clearly this is a band that briefly existed in 2008, but there's no properly sourced evidence that they ever actually did anything besides briefly exist, and nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to have reliably sourced evidence of actually doing something.

Notablity not established; article appears to be wp:promo. Her name does appear in published sources but only in captions for her photography.

- Delete - I saw this a few days ago while patrolling the NPP feed, and questioned the notability. She is a working commercial photographer who makes some very nice photographs, however she not a notable photographer per WP criteria for WP:NARTIST nor the general notability guideline. She lived in two houses that have been written about, and she took some controversial photographs of a young girl. The sourcing consists of her own website, some blogs or blog-like coverage mostly about the young girl, or about her two houses. Other sources include a self-published Lulu "book", and photo caption mentions. This is not the type of in-depth significant coverage needed for an encyclopedia article; she does not have the type of track record that we normally see for a notable photographer.

- keep if there something that someone thinks should not be there or a film that should bring it up on the talk page and it can be discussed Fanoflionking3 (talk) 18:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's not that one user or another decides whether a film belongs on the list, it's that there is no general consensus on what type of film belongs. As it can't be properly classified due to a lack of significant coverage, the list is unsustainable. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as the person who first brought this up. This isn't an issue of "theres coverage for it" its that it is a definitional impossibility that conflicts with sports films and list of sports films. And it isn't something that can be fixed either by going through it and saying what is or is not a sports film based on sourcing because the whole thing is a failed exercise that cannot be undone. It's not even a split list as its contents contradict the other lists its supposedly split from. As an encyclopedia this article is so all over the place that while everyone here is debating Babe i'm noticing that according to it the top sports films of all time are Inside Out 2 and the entire Fast and the Furious series alongside the Dragon Ball anime. We could go into a deep philosophical discussion about "what is a sport anyway" but instead this article exists as a fork from sports movies for no reason. –– Lid(Talk) 03:53, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Bring up Babe is about sheepdog trail, sheepdog trails are considered a sport see about sheepdog trail being sports https://www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/content/articles/2006/07/24/sheepdog_trials_feature.shtml Fanoflionking3 (talk) 20:00, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- While I'm not in denial of it being treated as a sport, what is and what isn't a sport film is less abundantly clear, so we can't just apply items like this. It's not clear what constitute the sports film genre per the links earlier that have different criteria. Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Meets Wp:NLIST (Sources covering that very topic exist, see GNews hits, for example) and can be considered a WP:SPLITLIST -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:31, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
So we need a definition for a sports film then (i always considered that t being about a sport event or training for a event) Babe (using this as example) is about babe training for a sheep dog trail then complete in the trail. Fanoflionking3 (talk) 21:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- The issue with the genre is that is vague and unspecific. As shown by the two links above, there is no obvious connection between what is and what isn't. This is why an editor above may laugh at the idea of Babe being a sports film, while other may not. We can have our own personal definitions, but as that's not categorizable, we can't say what is higher grossing than the other. If a film were specifically about baseball we might be able to have some sort of list, but that would be relatively fringe. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Somethings are clearly sports film (rockey for example), whiles others could be question (babe for example) using babe a done a sample of what we could do.Fanoflionking3 (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Rank | Film | Year | Worldwide gross | Ref | Sport(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Babe[a] | 1995 | $254,134,910 | [2] | Sheepdog trial |
- I think the talk page would be more appropriate for this, as the genre does not seem to be very specific, I don't think a list like this can be really be built on any foundation without some more strict details of what the genre may include. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Notes
- Keep as a notable stand-alone list topic even though the list's current contents and approaches are garbage. The problem is defining a sports film as opposed to films that have sports in part, like considering Forrest Gump a sports film is WP:UNDUE. I do oppose the more complex and cross-categorization lists that are embedded in this list article per WP:NLIST since some just get plain indiscriminate. I would support a hard-ass culling of this list. Regardless, there are reliable sources talking about highest-grossing sports movies, so the scope is 100% tenable. We have to overcome the sloppiness of this draft. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there being
reliable sources talking about highest-grossing sports movies
necessarily means thatthe scope is 100% tenable
. If those sources do not agree what counts as sports movies and what does not, there does not exist a consensus scope, but an equivocation. Do the sources actually agree on the scope in a way that makes for list criteria that are clear-cut and enforceable here? TompaDompa (talk) 17:42, 4 September 2024 (UTC)- Of course the scope is 100% tenable. The problem is with how to present the details. We definitely have reliable sources writing about the highest-grossing sports films. Do we see these sources naming Forrest Gump and Babe as sports films? Or is it certain editors being ridiculously and erroneously pedantic here? Furthermore, reliable sources are not published with Wikipedia suitability in mind. So can we find a way to work with their coverage? Other approaches here could be to avoid an overall list and instead have various embedded lists by sports (e.g., highest-grossing baseball films). Or we could redirect to just sports film and write some prose saying what has been identified as highest-grossing films in the sports genre and not commit to a table. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:44, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe we have different ideas about what it means for the scope to be tenable. If the best we can do is
redirect to just sports film and write some prose saying what has been identified as highest-grossing films in the sports genre and not commit to a table

- Comment I'll quote myself from roughly a year ago over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing films based on television series: It is plain to see that this article, as so many box office lists before it, was inspired by the only such list on Wikipedia that is actually of high quality: List of highest-grossing films (a WP:Featured list). The problem with the proliferation of these lists is that they are created without understanding what it is that makes that list work, and they often just copy the structure without considering whether it is appropriate for the newly-created list—or indeed, considering whether the new list should exist at all. The result is that we have a plethora of poorly maintained, straight-up bad lists with myriad problems including—mainly—sourcing issues. This is, well, churnalism—or I suppose online one would call it content farming. It is the assembly of pure WP:RAWDATA by way of WP:Original research at the whims of Wikipedia editors who have mined box office databases for the data and come up with a new angle from which to slice it more-or-less arbitrarily. It is a scourge.As for what should be done about this list, specifically, if it is to be kept in any form whatsoever (be it as a stand-alone article or as part of some other article) it categorically needs to be demonstrated that it is actually possible to have inclusion criteria that are
unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources
per WP:LISTCRITERIA, or in other words that there actually exists some kind of consensus among the sources about what belongs on the list and what does not. What we currently have fails the requirement from WP:LISTCRITERIA toAvoid original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources.
That goes for a lot of these lists. TompaDompa (talk) 17:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- I don't understand why you wouldn't merge this to the parent article? Academic conferences of 2000 people are not exactly.... prominent or of lasting public interest unless they are connected to something notable (i.e. a public declaration, something like a newsworthy public event (i.e. a bombing) etc). Its far different than conferences that include large negotations or notable outcomes (thinking something like 2017 United Nations Climate Change Conference), Sadads (talk) 17:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I am not against the merger, although if the article were to be merged, it needs to be shortened greatly, obviously. As for the notability, I don’t think we should be discussing the significance, which is different. Because of the Internet, a conference such as this clearly has lost some of significance (since we can communicate much easily online today). The notability, on the other hand, should be determined by a relative position within mathematics. In terms of size, the conference is second only to International Congress of Mathematicians. We should draw a line somewhere and my view is that this conference would cross that line, since we can’t quite argue ICM is the only notable conference in mathematics, which seems too high a bar. —- Taku (talk) 19:06, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Boleyn: Communes in Mauritania are significant administrative subdivisions with mayors, deputy mayors and councillors. It is a waste of everyone's time to keep nominating these articles for deletion. It would take less time and would be much more useful if you would expand these stubs.
To find a solid source for any of these communes, check the foot of the article, where you will see.
Click on the link to Communes of Mauritania, scroll down, and you will see
Click on that link, click "ok" in the search box, and you will get a list of all the communes. Click on the link for Bou Lahreth and you see information like
- BOU LAHRATH
- Région : ASSABA

Unnecessary WP:INCDAB. 2 of the 3 entries could be summarized by Red (political adjective), which itself redirects to Red#In politics. Meanwhile, Redskin or Red people aren't listed in Red (disambiguation), so its importance is unclear. I don't really see potential for a WP:BROADCONCEPT article. – sgeureka t•c 08:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Doesn't seem to be a point to this disambiguation. What's it disambiguating? Nobody would type 'Red (slur)' in, or create a link to this page. They'd just go to Red which should handle the disambiguation, which it does through a link at the top. --Here2rewrite (talk) 12:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete MOS:DABSHORT violation. Neither wikt:red nor Republican_Party_(United_States) attests the "Supporter of" part of "Supporter of the Republican Party (United States)", and I question whether it doesn't simply mean just GOP, which is sourced in Republican_Party_(United_States)#Name_and_symbols. Sources can be found for the other two, but usually don't go in a DAB. Also, WP:NOTDICTIONARY. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 13:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- "MOS:DABSHORT violation" can be addressed by relabeling the page as a set index article (instead of a DAB page), so it isn't a strong reason to delete. Jruderman (talk) 12:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep because it's just misnamed, not inherently problematic. Instead, assuming this AfD concludes without deletion, let's:
- Relabel the page from WP:Disambiguation to WP:Set index, and
- Either:
- Start a move discussion to a more neutral title such as "Red (political epithet)" or "Red (politics)" or "Red in politics", OR
- Start a merge discussion into Red#In_politics. — Jruderman (talk) 03:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and rename, but "politics" is wrong, since the ethnic one isn't politics (except in a sense too broad for disambiguation) purposes. Just "epithet" would work better. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- A rename to "Red (epithet)" would address the neutrality and precision concerns, but not the concerns about necessity: it is not clear how readers would land at this specific page, rather than, say, "Red (disambiguation)" or the Wiktionary page for "Red".
- What do you think of these alternatives?
- Merge and/or redirect to Red (disambiguation)#Politics
- Merge and/or redirect to Red (disambiguation), as a new section #Epithet
- Merge and/or redirect to Red#In politics
- Merge and/or redirect to Political_colour#Red
- Redirect to Redskin, the only one that's really a slur, leaving the modern left/right meanings (often neutral but sometimes used as epithets) for other pages.

- Delete I'm very conscious of the need to address the gender imbalance on Wikipedia, but it should be achieved by focusing on women scientists, doctors, engineers, activists and leaders. Not by keeping an article on someone who fails WP:NBIO that is virtually entirely describing a woman through the context of her husband, brothers, father and many children. Frankly, that's an insult to the goal of improving women's biographies on Wikipedia. This is a textbook case of WP:INVALIDBIO: "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability."

- Keep She was the Lady of the Bedchamber during her time, a notable and high-ranking social position in the palace. This role may be equivalent to the Sang-bok rank in the inner court of Joseon. The Sang-bok rank in Korea could pass WP:NPOL as it was one of the highest positions in the Joseon inner court. The Korean monarchy had two courts: the royal court (which functioned like a parliament) and the inner court (the court of the palace). The internal court, headed by the queen, wielded both political and judicial power. However, I'm unsure if the Lady of the Bedchamber had influence similar to that of the Sang-bok. Nonetheless, Lady of the Bedchamber served as like the queen's chief secretary, which could be considered notable, and she was also a subject of royal artwork. Therefore, I believe her role is significant enough to warrant inclusion. 223.204.71.128 (talk) 12:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- List of Air Serbia destinations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:NOT, WP:NCORP, WP:NLIST.
WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services"
. It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations ever flown to, however briefly, are listed without any attempt to summarise them which is against WP:IINFO. In reality this list is mostly services the airline doesn't present fly, does not fly year-round, or charter flights. It is therefore not a list of flights that Air Serbia actually offered in August 2023.
WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because none of the sources here are independent, third-party, reliable sources. This article is sourced entirely to old airline-issued timetables, the company website, press releases, enthusiast blogs like aeroroutes.net and www.exyuaviation.com/, or to run-of-the-mill articles in trade-press. Sources that clearly pass WP:ORGIND are needed, but none are present.
WP:NLIST is failed because none of these sources are independent, third-party, reliable sources giving significant coverage to the topic of the services this airline offers as a group. FOARP (talk) 11:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Products, Travel and tourism, Aviation, Lists, and Serbia. FOARP (talk) 11:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep all of these WP:NOT arguments are wrong and are inconsistent with the most recent RfC. First, third party reliable sources frequently cover Air Serbia destinations, even in Croatian [69]. This even quotes Vučić about a specific route. Sourcing is not an issue here. The catalogue argument fails because destinations are not "services" in the sense of another business - where an airline flies is clearly essential to understanding the airline, unlike an old style catalogue which is trying to sell you products. WP:IINFO doesn't apply because there's nothing indiscriminate about this at all. This is a valid list and while the sourcing could be improved, there's absolutely no reason to delete this. SportingFlyer T·C 18:01, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
”per the recent RFC”
- care to give us a link here? I’m not aware of a new RFC having closed in this field lately. Having checked on VPP, the Aviation project page, and the WP:NOT talk page I also don’t see one. Regarding the sources you raise, the Jurnarji List source is based entirely on Croation Aviation Portal, apparently a blog, the link to which is 404 but an archived version shows the information apparently to come entirely from the airline since no source is cited. Quotes from government officials hardly matter for notability of what is the state airline.- I also note that this is essentially the same argument that you've made multiple times in a long string of AFDs (15 out of the last 15), all of which closed delete/redirect/merge. FOARP (talk) 04:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- No - I don't have time to try to save all of these articles right now, but it was the RfC which was appealed which basically said this sort of information is fine to include in the encyclopedia if WP:DUE is mentioned. I also think you're absolutely wrong on policy here, and whenever these are opened up to the community there's never been a clear consensus to delete. Some of these articles do need to be deleted on sourcing grounds, so your 15 for 15 argument is worthless. I also don't know how you can argue Jutarnji isn't reliable, either, it's the second largest news portal in Croatia. SportingFlyer T·C 19:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep/merge This is not a resource for doing business so NOTCATALOGUE doesn't apply. It is well defined and of limited scope so it is not indiscriminate. Sources do cover the topic, and even if alternative formats for presentation may be better, it does not need to be deleted outright. Reywas92Talk 23:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTDB. This is just the airline's route map in list form. Also an exhaustive list of the places this carrier has flown to since it was founded nearly a century ago is a clear case of an indiscriminate collection of information. Sunnya343 (talk) 14:55, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion. I love you guys but you are making closure very difficult with all of these "Keep/Merge" opinions. These are two very different outcomes. Are you putting them in order, like Keep, 1st choice, Merge, 2nd choice or are most of you saying "Keep/Merge" because that is what other participants said or are you saying that you don't have a preference and either outcome is fine and (shudder!) the closer should decide? Because that is called a "super vote" and hell rains down from the sky when that is suspected of happening. So, please, which is it, Keep or Merge? Like an election, unless we are going ranked voting, you must choose one and only one outcome. Thanks.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 05:50, 3 September 2024 (UTC)- I wrote Keep/Merge because my intention is to retain information, but do not really care whether we keep this page, or merge it in with another page. Perhaps I should have written my vote as "Retain Information Content". The tendency years ago on wikipedia was to split a single large page into two or more pages to keep the size of any single page modest. It seems that the tendency now is that it's better to have one large page instead of multiple pages because that way it keeps better to the rules of what page titles are permitted on wikipedia. Ideally I'd like to keep this page because otherwise it makes the Air Serbia page rather large, but if this page has to disappear, then I think it better we just merge the contents of this page into its "parent" Air Serbia page. I favour Keep only very slightly over Merge - I don't really care which of Keep or Merge is the eventual outcome. My worst case option is that we permanently remove the information on this page from wikipedia. Pmbma (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Air Serbia#Destinations – If the information, can be sourced by reliable secondary sources talking about the destinations as a group or set, not just primary sources talking about new destinations that will soon be added, and also be put into context, then I would support a merge. However, as it stands now, the majority of the sources, albeit a few, mostly agreeing with the nomination's section on the sources used, do not help establish the list's notability. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 12:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- In the past, some wiki-editors have preferred an "official" source - namely the Air Serbia website - rather than an independent source. Perhaps we as wikipedians should do a better job about educating people on the merits of an independent source versus a primary source, but saying angry words to volunteers doesn't usually end well. :-)
- I've added a reliable secondary source for many of the destinations. Haven't got every single destination because I don't have time to search the web for hours, but what I have added should mean we have independent and non-dead-link source coverage of about 85% or more of casesPmbma (talk) 14:11, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: can you confirm what kind of WP:BEFORE search you conducted and how you went about identifying and assessing any Ukrainian and Japanese language sources as part of that? DCsansei (talk) 16:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: looks notable enough to me, and iI see sources in the History section. A redirect to the list of diplomatic missions of Japan or to Uk-Jp relations is totally warranted anyway. But I am really not convinced by the rationale of this nomination (especially when the majority of the sources are NOT about the ambassadors). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- When I nominated the article, majority of sources were about the ambassadors [70]. This has subsequently changed with new additions. LibStar (talk) 23:10, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Is there additional assessment of the newly added sources? And does LibStar's original nomination still stand? If not, we can close this, but if so we can continue to discuss whether this article meets the general notability guidelines
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Malinaccier (talk) 01:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)- Keep - I've added a few sources which should take this mission over the GNG and see plenty more. Appears that there was no WP:BEFORE search including Japanese sources. I'm not competent in Ukranian but my guess is that there would be additional sources found if a WP:BEFORE was done including Ukranian sources. DCsansei (talk) 07:25, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
